Title: Trying The SteamVR Beta On Linux Feels More Like An Early Alpha ( -at -)

Summary: "This past week Valve brought SteamVR on Linux into public

beta. With watching the constant hype around VR on Windows, I was quite

excited to finally give VR a try with having lined up an HTC Vive for

testing and currently Oculus or others not offering current Linux

support. I was thinking that I would have some large GPU/driver

comparisons and such completed this weekend, but once actually setting

up the hardware and software, I realized that wasn't going to be

feasible in such short time. So for those interested in the Linux VR

space, here are some of my first impressions and why I would consider

the current SteamVR more like an alpha release than beta, just yet

another struggle Linux gamers face, and another obstacle to overcome if

Linux is to be a more serious competitor to Windows in the gaming space."
